leather, so Irish,
Early Irish lethar, Welsh lledr,
Middle Breton lezr, Breton ler:
*letro-; English leather, German leder, Norse leðr. To prove
that the Teutons borrowed this word from the Celts, it is
asserted that the original Celtic is *(p)letro-, root pel of
Greek
@Gpella, hide, English fell.

a jump, Irish,
Old Irish léim, léimm, Welsh llam, Breton lam,
Old Breton
lammam, salio: *lengmen-,
Old Irish vb. lingim, I spring, root
leg, leng; Sanskrit langhati, leap, spring; Middle High German lingen, go
forward, English light, etc. The
Old Irish perfect tense leblaing
has made some give the root as vleng, vleg, Sanskrit valg, spring,
Latin valgus, awry, English walk; and some give the root as
svleng, from svelg. It is difficult to
See how the v or sv before
l was lost before l in leum.

ale, so Irish,
Old Irish lind,
Middle Irish lind dub, Welsh llyn:
*lennu-; same root and form (so far) as
linne, q.v. This is
proved by its secondary use in Gaelic and Irish for "humours,
melancholy". Stokes suggests for both connection with Greek
@Gpladarós, moist.

food, Irish,
Middle Irish lón,
Old Irish lóon, adeps, commeatus,
Old Breton
lon,
adeps: *louno-. Strachan and Stokes cf.
Old Slavonic plu@uti, caro,
Latin plutà, a crust, Lettic pluta, a bowel. Bez. queries if it is
allied to L.German flôm, raw suet,
Old High German floum. It was usual
to refer it to the same root as
Greek
@Gplou@ntos, wealth; and
Ernault has suggested connection with
blonag (*vlon), which
is unlikely.
